What we’re about
🎲⚔️ Welcome to the Southeast Michigan Tabletop Guild! ⚔️🎲
Greetings, adventurers, strategists, and artists alike!
We're absolutely thrilled to have you join our ranks and become a part of our vibrant community of tabletop enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a complete newcomer to the realms of dice, boards, or brushes, you've found your home here among fellow enthusiasts.
Within our guild, you'll discover a rich tapestry of creative experiences awaiting you:
🌟Diverse TTRPG Play - From “open play” nights for one-shots, to short-term campaigns, to progressive leveling systems - we utilize various formats that cater to many preferences and schedules. Enjoy varied lengths, themed events, and unique homebrew stories.
🔀Varied Systems - We primarily run Dungeons & Dragons 5e due to the popular demand of the system, however we also can play and teach systems such as Pathfinder, Shadowdark, DCC, and more when there are interested groups.
🎨Miniature Painting & Propmaking - Many tabletop systems and game masters utilize various props, terrain, and miniature figures to enhance the gaming experience. Together we practice, learn, and improve in this related tabletop hobby.
🧩Tabletop Board Gaming - Also closely related to RPGs, there is plenty of cross-over in our community to the board gaming sphere. From the classics to the hottest modern titles, we organize events to play, learn, and explore board games.
🎓Learning & Teaching - We believe as a community our goal is to teach people how to join in on all the activities we love so much. You can participate as both a newbie or a mentor in classes, boot camps, or “cohort” campaigns to enhance your knowledge and skills.
👋A Budding Community - Stay connected with our dedicated Discord server. Receive event reminders, access resources, engage in community discussions, provide feedback, share ideas, and connect with fellow gamers.

📢 Calling all adventurers for TTRPG Open Play: Shadowdark RPG!
Current Adventure:
“Deep in a wasteland cleaved by a sierra of ebon mountains, a young woman was unshakeable in her faith in the Great Scorpion of Khemet. She dwelled as a scribe among the priestesses of the Scorpion Temple, chronicling tales and composing songs of the venomous faithful as they marched toward the glorious Final Age.
Then, on a night soft with chanting and prayer, a purple worm burst from the walls of the temple, devouring the young bard. However, she did not perish, but rather emerged from the titanic worm as an undead sorceress. Generations later, the Worm-Witch’s song still echoes across the wastes, luring in mortals with the promise of faith and fortune…”🔥 Shadowdark is a fast, gritty, old-school-inspired system perfect for fans of classic dungeon crawls.
